6 Lancelot Vester

Zusholin Empire

Year 345

The kingdom of drakes..Zusholin! Whose present Emperor, Ye Long Shi. Has taken over the Empire..after the fall of the previous king! It was through conspiracy! That both the Emperor and Empress had to be victim!

Zèron tower! An enormous tower! With mana lingering!!! Anyone without mana tolerance...will start coughing blood!

The supreme authority of the tower...is in the hands of Lancelot Vester! The Tower's Master Magician!

A Cold-blooded person...who was once a warm magician..has shut himself up, after the disappearance of Yuki (Eshilin) !He lingers in shadows of betrayal of his fellow magicians and the Emperor of Zusholin!

He walks towards the courtyard of his tower.....a pond blooming with water lilies and lotus. Vester was never fond of lilies and lotus...but it was his precious ones, who was fond of lotus and lilies!! He had a garden of blue roses and lilacs, only because Yuki was fond of them! A gust of night wind blows...levitating his lower dress! And letting his hair dance to the gust! His mana..was seen to flow in air. His mana is what that maintains the Zèron Tower!

"Yuki Why did u leave me?"

A remorse in his eyes were seen...his eyes almost lost all its shine! Those eyes where dull without his mana!

"Why did you break your promise!

You said that you wouldn't leave ur Magician-sama! " his voice getting choked and tears tracing down his cheeks....

"You were the only one Yuki-chan!

You were my only sister...who lend a hand to this orphan!"

The Great Magician was once a no named person, without any title, home , nor there were proper clothes on him. It was once Raven saw him getting bullied by the street Thugs! She freezed them with her ice mana! And killed them on the spot with her ice spikes!

"Hey brother! Are u fine!" The little girl asks with a smile on her face!

"Y..yes" he was still shivering with terror, and how she mercilessly killed those people with her frozen spikes, made him tremble more!

*bends over him* "hey don't worry brother! I won't harm you! Smiles as she speaks!!

"Lancelot Vester!"

"Huh??"

"That's my name" he says without looking at Raven!

"Oh that's a good name!! I am Raven Zebella de Sumire!"

"Oh! Its such a long name ! Can I call u Yuki?"

"Yuki??"

"Y-yeah! Yuki means ice! And you are having ice Mana so..."

"That's a lovely name!!!my name is long that's for sure! So Vester! Welcome to our family"

"My lady! Are you going to take this begger boy to our household?" Asks the maid of Raven, with disgust in her eyes for that boy!

"Carol! How can you ask me this question with disgust! *Glares* he is not some begger boy! He has that overflow of Mana!!"

Vester petrified with what Raven said! He was in surprise that how a small girl of 10...could sense his Mana. Which he hid it well!

"You don't need to be surprised. Well you did hid it well" she says with a smirk!

"Huh? How did you manage to sense my mana??"

"Well let's not chit-chat here! Let's wash u up lil brother and talk" *smiles*

Tear drops....when Lancelot remembers those unforgettable memories. He stood there, in the courtyard. Today is his last day!

His mana core was destroyed and was betrayed by the present Emperor!

The previous Emperor and the Empress, was back stabbed by the people they trusted! And Lancelot was one of them who got backstabbed along with the Emperor! Today he was poisoned by a forbidden poison! Which is capable to destroy one's cultivation and Mana! Once Lancelot gets his mana destroyed he no longer would survive....nor will the tower will! The Zèron Tower, which sustains on the illusion mana will get depleted and would no longer be the source of mana. As the night gets longer....the poison in him takes effect!!

"Ah! *Clutches his chest...* Khuh!"

Spits poisoned blood..which had already turned the crimson blood to pitch black!

"Ha! Ha! *Breathes heavily* I ...I can no longer sustain this deadly poison!"

As soon as he forces out few of his words! He stumbles down and fell of to his feet and breath his last!

"Yuki...I..if there w..would be next chance...to m..meet you! I would make your life better........."

As he says this he shuts those Amber eyes and falls in the arms of silence....a peaceful sleep with regrets!

Assam, India!

Year 2014, January 12th!

*Beep..beep...beep...*

(Sound of the alarm)

"Umm... Ah!!... Haa!" Blink opens his eyes.

"Huh??? Didn't I die! No I am pretty sure I was poisoned by that dog* "

*Dog refers to the Emperor Ye long Shi!

For few mins his head throbs and making him dizzy and nauseated! "Ahhhh...my head will burst!" "Arghhhhh!!! Haaa! Hufff!"

"So this is my second life! What about Yuki?" He says to himself with glitch in his voice!

"I remembered my past today! So it may be that Yuki must have born too! She and the Emperor had the same poison as me!" He says with a glisten in his eyes!

But that glisten vanishes as soon as he realizes that it's a huge world and where to find them?

"Well! Let's think about this later-

"Rhys!!! You sleepy head, get the hell out ya room and get ready for ya college!" His mother interrupts him while he was in his thinking process

To think of I never had a mom in my last life....I have troubled her enough in these past few years...I should pay...what I did!

Rhys Xander, a college student of 19yrs! Lives with his mother Sera Xander and his sister Catherine Xander 14yrs. For the whole 15 yrs he has being a trouble to his mother! His father, Captain Alex Xander...is always on seas and ocean! As he is Captain of Navy battle cruise! Rhys, had been bullied always and beaten at his school and college! He would be in the dead last in his ranking tests. He was always seen as dust by his family members!

"Shit! What I have being doing these all years...running errands for those jerks?"

"Mother....I won't be a trouble to you anymore"

"I, Lancelot Vester....will bring back your dignity!"

"Rhys! You are getting late lad! Do u plan of not going? Do you?"

"I will go mother! Just few minutes" he answers with sincerity in his voice!

"Huh? This boy has got grown up in one night? Ha! It can't be"

In the washroom.....Vester looks at the mirror and stares at himself!!!

"Well I have got the same eyes! That's good! It would be wonderful if I would have my mana!" Says with regret!

"Well if I got my Amber eyes, then I may have my illusion mana!" He says with a hope.

According to the Zusholin, Mana is detected through the shine in their eyes!

*Red shine or red pupil* resembles 'fire mana'. This person has control over fire! Even though it's a rare elemental Mana! It was found in the Emperor's be bloodline!

*Green shine or green pupils* resembles tree Mana! A person with 'tree Mana' can be able to control the growth and movements of a plant!

*Crystal clear blue pupils* resembles 'water Mana'! They have control over water and are the best healers!

*Violet pupils* resembles 'thunder mana'. They are know to have control over the thunder and climates!

*Deep brown pupils* resembles the 'soil or earth mana'. They have control over the objects connected to the soil. They often choose to be in the royal army or choose to be knight!

*Deep blue pupils* resembles the 'ice mana'. They have capability to freeze and produce frozen spikes and can cast frozen and ancient spells!

But there are some expectations....no all have pure elemental power! They also have other Mana! Like *illusion mana*, *time controlling mana*, *psychic mana*, *sound amplifying mana*, *healing mana* and *pupillary mana*!

People with water mana or water mages have more possibility of having a different mana too! Since it's water element! It's easy to flow with this mana.

Lancelot Vester, on the other hand had thunder and illusion mana! Since his illusion mana was dominant he got golden-amber pupils! Which were termed rare back at Zusholin.

After few minutes he was off to his college. Now he was not that trash Rhys anymore! He was Lancelot Vester!

Few moments ago....

"Since I am getting late to my academy....let me try a small illusion trick....to test whether I still have my mana or not!"

He concentrates on his spiritual Qi. And snapped his fingers....and with in a split second he created an illusion!

"Woah! Sugoi! It worked! I see my glow on my eyes has returned....then I still have my mana! But my cultivation level is low!"

" I should work to increase my physic and my Qi!" Since he was in his illusion realm...by this time he had completed taking a bath and was ready to get going to his college!

"So see you mom! And catch you later little sister *Pat's her head*"

Dumbstruck...both mother and daughter looked at each other..with their mouth ajar!

"Mom? Did brother bumped his head recently!"

"Eh? I don't know sweetie! Whatever it may be...I think he is growing up!" *Smiles*

" Yup mom! It's good to see brother clean and neat! And wishing goodbyes very politely! It's like his is another person!" *Giggles under breath*

" Well whatever it may be...I am glad he is growing up"

Rhys in the past

"Hey you, yeah Cath! Can't you spare some place in the sitting hall! I can't watch my show idiot"

" Well brother..you have being watching the whole day"

" Arghhhhh! So what "

" Rhys just spare your sister a bit...u were watching the whole day..why don't you give her to watch. "

" Shit! Do the errands for those jerks and get ordered here too "

" If you get bullied that's your weakness! You spend your money on them...as they bully you! " Says Sera! With a stern look.

" Argh! Fine watch it! You don't need to lecture me "

Leaves the room and shuts his room with a thud!

" Ha! What should I do with this child! When will he grow up! " Sighs and leaves!

It was natural for them to be in shock cause... He emitted a different aura! He was clean and neat! Not as before.. stinky and smelly, always covered with bruises.

Addressing his mother and sister with love and affection. Which they never dreamed that they would get that from him. He didn't cause a ruckus of not going to college. Which it was his daily routine!

While walking on the pavement, he looks all over this city, a city which is unknowingly known! Even though he was familiar to this city! But after remembering his past very vivdly. This new world is disturbingly beautiful yet strange!

"Well...I was familiar..but seeing my perivious life and world, the things that I never noticed in this world is strikingly strange.... Well it's interesting!"

" Huh! Is this the so called college? I know I know, this is my college....but it is surpising me now! How can colleges be so small??? "

Well ofcourse Zusholin, had the best Universities and academies!!!

"Not bad, it's still strangly beautiful!

One thing I did notice was...no one has Mana! I guess over time, mana no more existed! Aren't they weak now?"

Rhys had so many questions ringing inside his brain! Even though he had already lived for 19 years, he got familiar in this world, which is good for him now, but his mentality, personality can tell that some one dropped him in an unknown place!

"Phew! By looking at the things I can tell how to use...and I can name them, but still I get myself in awkward situations! Ha! Let's leave about this and get into my so called academy!"

" I miss my academy and my tower!" *Teary*

*Shuffling his sleeves up* "okay let's go in."

Rhys has being bullied since he was a child! Which made him rude and weak too! He can't raise his voice when he should, he got disgusted by himself!

" Hey, see who is barging in! Huh? "

" What? Puppy, ain't ya gonna Shiver around'a corner! Hahahaha"

Rhys POV~

As soon as I got into the school gate I found myself srounded by these jerks, for whom I used to run errands! Just like in the past...get bullied and run errands for them who beat you up? Cheh~ bullshit!

It was Yuki who believed in me that one day the whole world will acknowledge me! Take me as someone powerful!

These jerks think that I am that Rhys before! Ha! Let's see what they can do to me now. I can't use my magic! Since I don't have much mana in me. But I was tower master, dealing with these thugs is piece of cake! *Smirks*

Come on boys...let's show you who the true master is!

~ End of Rhys's POV

" Hey, Shubhum..this fella is possessed or someth'ng ! He has been star'ng us as if gonna kill us! "

" Yo man! Watch'ya star'ng for?"

" Huh? What ? " They push Rhys by his shoulder thinking that he will stumble and fall! But Rhys didn't bulge a bit! He stood firmly...a strong aura was emmiting from him!

" What happened Ayush? *Stares at him with his Amber eyes* terrified?

Huh? "

" W-what? Puh!! Me t-terrified"

" Seriously? Ayush! You are not terrified? So how come you are shuttering now " Rhys comes closer to Ayush....gives him a stare... Ayush could see his burning pit of Amber.

" What? Ayush!!! Can't you speak now too? Huh? " He holds Ayush's collar and with a smirk he says "listen well, I am not afraid of you puppies...and don't you dare mess with me" relases his collar with a force that Ayush almost stumbled down, and left for the class. Along with Ayush all stood stunned and were feeling quite pressurised with the prescence of Rhys.

"Ayush , is he Rhys? Why do I feel pressurised when he was around us" asks Shubhum to Ayush, on the other hand Ayush was terrified with the glare Rhys gave, for a split second he couldn't breath!!

"I..I don't know.....he was terrifying...we should inform Joe about this! " Exclaims with fear and terror in his voice!

They were five of them Ayush , Shubhum, Naser, Will and the leader Joe!

Naser is the fighting material in their team, he looks like a wild bear! As dim witted you can think as. Will on the other hand is the invisible person! Don't know why is he even with them. He has black-silky hair and almond eyes! He is kind of treasure box to the team. Yeah what can you expect from a rich kid buddy! Next is our two , loyal disciples Ayush and Shubhum of Joe( real name: Jyotiranjan). He calls himself Joe! And thinks as he is most handsome and charming person. Let's see what kind of charming person he is. Well these two Ayush and Shubhum are the left and right hand of Joe, they do all those works that Joe should be doing! But he is summoned when they can't tackle a situation. Well like this Situation ( Rhys).

"Hahaha! It's being a while until I scared few brats. Yuki would always be the one to start teasing kids and I end up being the one bullying!"

By saying this .....

He enters to his class room and feeling strange he takes his seat...which he knew already, it was the last seat as usual.....

Slowly as time passes....students filled up the room. And he was shuffling through his bag to see the books and materials he had. Well all those books were either torn or snatched by those jerks. He was calm, since he knew they are just lil brats and can be handled in a snap.

"It's time to pay for damages boys"

He says with a silent smirk spreading over his lips.

He was busy grasping the knowledge through his left books and pages there was a sound, that startled him

BANG!!!

"HEYA LITTLE FELLA, YOU DARE MESS WITH MY PEOPLE HUH??

WHAT DO'YA THINK, YOU CAN SCARE EM' NOT ME' "

" oh is that Joe, the class's handsome personality has come to pay a visit to me" *smirks*

" You piece of shit! *Holds Rhys's collar and jerks him.* "

" Slow down puppy, didn't have your treat today? *Pushes back Joe's grip on his collar* "

" What did you u say shit !!!! *Giving an irritated and annoyed look "

Class POV~

(In Whispers)

"What is happening in here? "

"Oh goodness, is that Rhys...he is dead meat today"

" How the heck Rhys talk back to Joe.. wasn't he used to quiver in for the of him"

" I don't know dude! He looks different today...."

" Whatever it maybe, result will be the same, he will be diced into meat for sure"

" Did he provoke Joe again, but he can't do that can he?"

" Who knows what, but till now he is standing straight that's quite a good show"

" Oh my! Joe gonna beat up Rhys again?"

..... Goes on.....

End of Class POV~

" Aren't you going to say anything puppy?" Rhys says with a glare in his eyes...which made Joe quiver!

Rhys pulls Joe closer to him by his shirt and glares at his eyes. Joe could see the burning pit of Amber glowing in his eyes....
